I'm low on cash and have alot of time on my hand. A few cars got broken into a few months ago in my neighborhood so I decided to make a DIY cargo cover. It took along time for me to complete this project, but if I were to do it again, it shouldn't take more than 2 hours. Total cost should be less than $30. Less than $15 if you have adhesive glue, fabric, and nails/screws/whatever.

First I made the frame.


Then alot of cutting and BS. It fits perfect.



There is a gap which is about a finger's length (about 3.5 inches). The gap will be filled in, but whatever, it's good enough.


I'll wrap it in fabric some other time and call it a day. I used a foam board for this since I'd be scared of this thing slicing heads in a car crash. Just for the heck of it, I'll make one in 1/4" plywood.

And here's a link to another FitFreak user who did a much better job than I can ever do.:
